watched a one day game after a long long time....maybe 4-5 years...
was browsing around on espn360.com and i noticed india vs. sri lanka idea cup available. put it on....
and i had to note these down along the way....
:)
it is 8.5 hours long, but you can do whatever you want while the game is on...read, work, check mails, just look at the screen when you hear the shouts...either the crowd, the players or the commentator....the game really does not mess with your day at all...
very odd watching the game without any advertisements between overs...you are not used to seeing replays of a boundary hit on the last ball of the over, or the start of strides of a paceman's first ball....
umpire drew a circle above his head after a no ball, and "free hit" was displayed on screen - googled that one immediately.... :))
ravi shastri seems to have taken over from siddhu....
"that really was a biriyani over.."
"that ball found the boundary like a tracer bullet.."
i dont know which commentator it was but yuvraj was looking at the bat quite often and he said "what are you doing bat? you are not making that sweet sound with me!"
dhoni somehow looks younger and fitter??
the espn feed continues right through half time break...there was laxman sivaramakrishnan on the pitch doing a mic test...he was singing "one two three......" in carnatic music....and then shouting at someone in tamil "nee soupaa? naan maggi noodles da..."
the only guy i knew in the sri lankan team was sangakkara....and for good reason...they showed the number of matches each guy on that team has played, sangakkara was close to 250, next one was 89, followed by 30.....
